The cords whereby the bar 0 is elevated are denoted by i, and they extend over pulleysj on the inner face of the window-frame and down to the base of the said frame.

I claim as rnyinvention In combination with the frame formed of the bars a, b, and c, bent and pivoted, substantially as described, the cover A, attached to the said bars, as shown, and cords to elevate the said bars and admit of the upper section of the cover being opened or closed, substantially as specified.
